Skift Take

Like a book or movie you’ve decided to take in for a second time, we’ve discovered there is a lot of value in viewing these videos even if you attended the Skift Global Forum in person. In many of them, there is an abundance of insight to absorb.

If you didn’t have a chance to attend Skift Global Forum in New York City last month — or even if you did — there’s plenty to glean and revisit from nearly two dozen videos from the speaker program that we have posted on YouTube here.

Unlike some other conferences, these interviews weren’t fluff. Wyndham CEO Geoff Ballotti was told his hotels are “unsexy” and “uncool.” TripAdvisor CEO Stephen Kaufer was asked why there has been so little product innovation at the company in recent years. Both Ballotti and Kaufer pushed back against these premises.

These videos are now available above and on Skift’s YouTube channel for you to peruse — and share — at your leisure. We know some companies have been anxious to share them with employees internally at their companies.

Over the next few weeks, we will also be publishing stories about each of these videos, highlighting news or trends that the interviewed executives discussed at the Forum.
